Big Lots

Hundreds of stores are being closed across the U.S. Here are some of the notable chains shutting down locations.

At least one chain is buying up several leases of former Big Lots stores as part of an aggressive expansion plan.

The lease sales offer a preview of which states might be seeing less of this chain in the future.

Big Lots continues to add to the list of stores they will close forever including 2 in Missouri and 2 more in Illinois.

It's been a challenging year for Big Lots after they've closed hundreds of stores and it doesn't appear they're done yet. Today, it was revealed that they are shuttering 50 more stores permanently and that includes a major one in Illinois.

It's not completely unexpected, but still sad that Big Lots announced today that they're closing more than 300 stores and I've confirmed that includes a half dozen locations in Missouri.

It continues to be a rough go in the brick and mortar retail world as Big Lots has announced plans to close at least 40 locations in the next 12 months. The question is how many Missouri stores will be a part of that plan?

Well, this seems to have come out of nowhere. There are multiple reports that Big Lots has suddenly decided to close a location in Illinois as 2023 comes to an end.

Pandemic, supply chain shortages and online sales notwithstanding, there are a lot of shoppers who still have Black Friday, November 26 marked with a big red circle on their calendars.

I love me some Taco Bell drive-through. I probably use it about once a week on average. Last night I noticed what is obviously the new trend in hang out spots for the local teens as I was about to order my usual volcano burrito.
